When I was about five I had one of those early TV console games, the ones with pong and other similar games. There was a single button for each game but holding down multiple buttons resulted in hybrid games e.g. half hockey, half basketball.

What was your first hack? Do the things you got up to as a kid reflect in some way who you are today?

What I remember is that my first hacks were not successful at all. As a kid I was always tearing apart some electronic device much to the dismay of my parents! From transistor radios to televisions, it didn’t really matter. Mostly to try and understand them, but sometimes to try and add something to it to make what I thought was an improvement.
